The Greater Detroit Association - Phi Beta Kappa held its Virtual Summer Book Club on August 14, 2024. We discussed the recollections, imaginative reflections, and perseverance of Jean-Dominique Bauby in his memoir The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, dictated by a paraplegic Bauby during his recovery after a stroke that left him with "locked-in" syndrome.
November 20, 2024 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM EST
Virtual Fall Book Club
We invite you to join Greater Detroit ΦBK members for a thoughtful discussion of Horse: A Novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Geraldine Brooks. A novel based on a true story "of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism" (Goodreads).
​
Please RSVP here.​ Guests of PBK members are welcome to join us.
